Ribosomal protein L21 pseudogene 84 (RPL21P84)

Ribosomal protein L21 pseudogene 84 (RPL21P84) is a processed pseudogene corresponding to the ribosomal protein L21 gene. It does not encode a protein and has no known function. Multiple pseudogenes for ribosomal proteins like L21 exist throughout the genome, generally as transcriptionally inactive sequences generated by reverse transcription of mRNA from the canonical gene and subsequent integration into new genomic locations. RPL21P84, specifically, is annotated in the human genome (Gene ID: 100271187) and is not associated with any known disease phenotype or biological function. RPL21P84 is not a molecular target, druggable gene, or biomedical receptor; it is a pseudogene, and thus, entries related to targeting, function, or disease associations should be considered null or inapplicable.
